Operation
System parameter setting
-
Long press M and ◀ key for 2s, prepare for setup system parameter:
decode mode, 0/1-10V output, output brightness curve, default output level, automatic blank screen. short press M key to switch ve item. -
Decode mode: short press ◀ or ▶ key to switch one-channel decode(“d-1”), two-channel decode(“d-2”) or four-channel decode(“d-4”).When set as 1 channel decode, the decoder occupy only 1 DMX address, and four channel output the same brightness of this DMX address.
-
0/1-10V output: short press ◀ or ▶ key to switch 0-10V(“0-0”) or 1-10V(“1-0”).
-
Output brightness curve: short press ◀ or ▶ key to switch linear curve(“C-L”) or logarithmic curve(“C-E”).
-
Default output level: press ◀ or ▶ key to change default 0-100% level (“d00” to “dFF” ) when no DMX input signal.
-
Automatic blank screen: short press ◀ or ▶ key to switch enable (“bon”) or disable(“boF”) automatic blank screen.
-
Long press M key for 2s or timeout 10s, quit system parameter setting.
DMX mode
- ● Short press M key, when display 001~512, enter DMX mode.
- Press ◀ or ▶ key to change DMX decode address(001~512), long press for fast adjustment.
- If there is a DMX signal input, will enter DMX mode automatically.
- DMX Dimming: Each DL DMX decoder occupy 4 DMX address when connecting the DMX console.
For example, the defaulted start address is 1, their corresponding relationship in the form:
DMX mode (001~512)
DMX Console | DMX Decoder Output |
---|---|
CH1 0-255 | CH1 0-10V |
CH2 0-255 | CH2 0-10V |
CH3 0-255 | CH3 0-10V |
CH4 0-255 | CH4 0-10V |
Stand-alone RGB/RGBW mode
-
Short press M key, when display P01~P24, enter stand-alone RGB/RGBW mode.
-
Press ◀ or ▶ key to change dynamic mode number(P01~P24).
-
Each mode can adjust speed and brightness. Long press M key for 2s, prepare for setup mode speed, brightness, W channel brightness.
Short press M key to switch three item.
Stand-alone RGB/RGBW mode (P01~P24)
Press ◀ or ▶ key to setup value of each item. Mode speed:1-10 level speed(S-1, S-9, S-F). Mode brightness:1-10 level brightness(b-1, b-9, b-F). W channel brightness: 0-255 level brightness(400-4FF). Long press M key for 2s, or timeout 10s, quit setting. -
Enter stand-alone RGB/RGBW mode only when DMX signal is disconnected or lost.
